Yesterday went well, after the interview, my interviewers took me to their office and showed me around. This job will probably present some challenges I haven’t faced before, but I don’t think I would want it if it didn’t. I believe this owners are a little hesitant to hire me based on the fact they feel I am too young. Basically, they think I haven’t faced some common problems that they’ve come across. In truth I have, but it is difficult to convey that without sounding like a teenagers going “I know, I know, I know”.
Their concerns are that I won’t be able to manage those older than me, I’ll pick favorites, I’ll date the staff, I’ll party too much, I’ll get bored or “Island fever”. Not that the interviewers said that directly, but I heard what they meant. I’m afraid I was unsure how to address these concerns is a convincing fashion, and while I understand them, I wanted to be like “You don’t know me!”. Of course it didn’t help that any prolonged speech sent me into a fit of coughs. I KNOW I can do this job, I am just terrible at presenting myself in a confident manner. UGGH!!!!!
It is somewhat promising to know that they called a couple of my references. Now, it’s back to the waiting game…And time to continue job hunting.
